Default Can you feed oil in the return? Updated *PICS*

My friend wants to know if he can feed oil through the return and have it return from the feed fitting.

I could have sworn i read a post on this a while back that said it cannot be done and seals would be blown yada yada.

I dont want to tell him no for sure so I though't I would would ask since I was unable to find the old post. So whats the verdict, I say no lol

I'm starting to think that in the other thread the person tried feeding the return line. The problem was actually that the turbo was not roated and he was trying to oppose gravity.

Why would he want to do that? I can't think of how it would work.

I'm not positive his reason, I dont think he can turn the center secion or the exhaust housing will be pointing some strange way I'm not sure......
